BRAC Young Professionals Programme 2025 – Launching Purpose‑Driven Careers

BRAC offers a premier Young Professionals Programme (YPP) that nurtures early-career leaders ready to tackle international development challenges through immersive, hands‑on learning. Open to Bangladeshi citizens, this six-month paid programme places participants in on-field roles, supported by structured training, mentorship, and exposure to multiple operational areas.

 Overview & Impact

• Duration: 6 months of intensive learning across classroom training and field placements, followed by a 2-year appointment in BRAC field operations
• Programme Aim: Equip graduates with leadership, analytical, and community-development skills grounded in empathy and action in diverse social sectors

 Who Should Apply?

Eligible applicants are:

• Fresh graduates or professionals with a bachelor’s degree (minimum CGPA 3.0 on a 4.0 scale or equivalent)
• Individuals with demonstrated leadership or initiative in extracurricular activities, volunteering, or personal resilience
• Bangladesh nationals only

 What the Programme Offers

• Hands-on field experience alongside communities across BRAC’s portfolios: ultra-poor graduation, health, microfinance, sanitation, social innovation, and support functions
• Competitive benefits, including bonuses, health insurance, mentorship, and coaching from experienced development practitioners
• Transformative growth, as shared by past cohorts—gaining confidence, empathy, and on-the-ground insights

 Application Essentials

• Deadline: August 17, 2025
• Official Application Portal: BRAC Careers or main BRAC website under “Young Professionals Programme”
• Shortlisted candidates undergo assessments, written tests, interviews, and a potential assessment center

 Why It’s a Stand-Out Opportunity

• Launchpad to leadership roles: Many alumni fast-track into mid-level and management positions within BRAC International following the programme
• Values-driven mission: Work within Bangladesh’s largest development organisation, rooted in innovation, community engagement, and poverty eradication
• Supportive learning culture: Mentoring, team feedback, and exposure to BRAC’s multidisciplinary environments in both head and field offices
